    Reader note

    This is a series about infrastructure development. The first four books likely have romantic pairings, while the last one is not. Books 3 and 5 feature systems, but the conditions for these two are more challenging compared to the others. One is set in the chaotic late Eastern Han Dynasty, with warlords fighting and widespread famine. The other features a puppet empress dowager who is essentially powerless, while the country is riddled with internal and external troubles, and both the empress dowager and the emperor are poisoned, making the start extremely difficult. The first book primarily focuses on the emperor's exceptional kindness; he protects the female protagonist even when things go wrong, teaching her how to navigate politics, build her own power base, and delegate authority. The female protagonist then focuses on infrastructure development and resolving issues related to powerful families and land annexation by landlords. The other two books also involve infrastructure development, with the female protagonist disguising herself as a man to govern a county, both located on the border.

    This novel is so addictive! It avoids the clichéd romance plot; the female lead is beautiful and successful, while ordinary people fall for her one by one. The book is full of novel settings and hilarious scenes, giving ancient mythology a fresh twist. Every page is laugh-out-loud funny and incredibly stress-relieving. I finished it in one go, and now all I can think about is Xi Yue showcasing her skills in ancient times.
